Typical heartless spewage from the Grand Old Party.
Republican Rep. Peter King of New York was speaking about the travesty of the non-indictment of killer-cop Daniel Pantaleo in the strangulation death of Eric Garner. But in true GOP fashion, he thinks it was justice served, tweeting:
Thanks to SI grand jury for doing justice & not yielding to outside pressure. Decision must be respected. Compassion for the Garner family.

Not only that, but the Congressman then said that Garner wouldn’t have died if he hadn’t been so obese:
“If he had not had asthma, and a heart condition and was so obese, almost definitely he would not have died from this.”
Man, that power and white privilege does things to the mind, huh?
